New look to the Madingley Beanie Hat pattern

I have been continuing on with my summer task of updating my knitting patterns and have been enjoying revisiting some old favourites in the collection. The latest pattern for the updating wand has been the Madingley Beanie Hat which is a firm favourite of mine. It is just so squishy and soft to wear and really keeps the chills at bay.

And now the pattern has a fresh new look with the lead photo showing our daughter Anna modelling the hat and the co-ordinating Teversham Cowl. This was taken at Nymans, a National Trust property in West Sussex, UK. If you have never been there, then please do go if you are in the area. It is such an interesting place and has some beautiful autumn colours at this time of year.

New – A Sampler of Stitches for Blankets & Throws

I have just uploaded a new "Sampler Collection" of 25 reversible knitting stitch patterns which would be perfect for baby blankets, lap-rugs, afghans & throws.

​It includes a selection of reversible stitches for lacy summer throws along with deep textural designs which would be perfect for the cooler months.

The Collection also includes two bonus knitting patterns:
  • The Henley Blanket – a wonderfully cozy blanket for Single, Double and Queen-sized beds, and
  • the Ennismore Lap-Rug – with three sizes for a lap-rug, afghan and throw.

Each of the stitches has a full description including suggested uses for the stitch, photographs of both sides, a stitch chart and full line-by-line instructions.
